Ingredients
- 12 ounce bacon
- 6 ounce fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 2 jalapenos, stem, seeds removed, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoon dark molasses
- ¼ - ½ cup water, or as needed
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan, cook bacon until very crispy.
- Remove bacon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, and drain grease from the pan.
- In a small saucepan add ½ cup of brown sugar and raspberries.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then remove from heat.
- Add onions and jalapenos to the cast-iron skillet and cook on low until onions are translucent.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the pan.
- Reduce to low for 30-40 minutes or until sauce is a little thicker than maple syrup.
- Add pepper to taste.
Notes
Tips
- Let the bacon cool before crumbling. It will break apart more easily, and you won't burn yourself!
- Stir your onion and garlic mixture continuously as you cook to keep the garlic from burning.
- Stir your sauce occasionally as it simmers to prevent sticking and scorching.
- Wash your hands thoroughly and NEVER touch your face when handling hot peppers.
